    The start is in Giesshübl at the easily accessible paid car park at the Kuheide. The long loop leads up and down through the Föhrenberge Nature Park. Most of the route leads along forest roads, but there are also some somewhat narrower trails. There are few really technically demanding sections, but good control of your speed, especially on the gravelled bends, is probably the biggest challenge.

    The route utilises the regional bike routes such as the Parapluiestrecke, Doktorbergstrecke, Giesshüblstrecke and other feeder routes.

    Author’s recommendation

    From a culinary point of view, there are some very nice huts along the route:

    "Genussverliebt" - right next to the Kuhheide car park

    Kammersteinerhütte, Teufelsteinhütte and Höllensteinhaus (located slightly off the route and no longer part of the public bike route)

    Salzstanglwirt

    Wiener Hütte

    I am happy to answer your questions and am always delighted to receive comments and ratings about the tour. Your own pictures are also great.

    Roadbook

    From the Kuhheide car park, we head south to Eichbergstrasse, leave the tarmac and follow the beautiful forest path around the Eichberg to Wassergspreng. After the downhill section, we work our way up to Hochstrasse. There we leave the Höllensteinhaus on the left. In a constant up and down, we pass the Schöffelhütte, which belongs to the Wienerwald Süd mountain rescue service. Near the Schöffelhütte is the Norwegerwiese, where a ski lift was built in 1952 and was a popular excursion destination in both winter and summer. Back then, skiers had to walk up to an hour to the lift with their skis on their backs. From here you also have a great view of the Schneeberg. Shortly afterwards, we reach the Sulzer Höhe and descend to Sulz im Wienerwald. There the route follows the road for just under 3 kilometres. After the Wöglerin, we turn back onto a forest road and follow it eastwards. After the Steingraben and the Wassergraben we reach "Siebeneichen". This is a place of power, in the centre of the oaks everyone can feel the magical energy. The route continues easily to the sports field and past the Doktorberg to the Wiener Hütte. Shortly afterwards, we reach Rodaun and continue south to Perchtoldsdorfer Heide. Via the Parapluiestrecke and the Parapluieberg we pass the Kammersteinerhütte and the Teufelsteinhütte, and a little later the Salzstanglwirt. There is really good food and drink everywhere and is always worth a break. We reach the Kuhheide again via the large and small saddle on the high road and finally our starting point at the Kuhheide car park.
